Anchorage, Alaska has been called The Crossroad of the World, and for good reason!
People all over the globe come to Anchorage for a wide variety of reasons. Some of the world’s most breathtaking scenery can be enjoyed in Anchorage, where snow covered mountains rise thousands of feet in the air, rivers bursting with fresh fish run wild, and local wildlife literally roam the streets. Alaska is known for its diverse terrain of vast open spaces, majestic mountains and lush forests full of abundant wildlife. Lots of small towns dot the landscape, with Anchorage representing the largest city.
Moving is almost always stressful, and when you’re moving with little notice to a place you’ve never been, the stress can add up quickly. A military relocation to Alaska can be a very challenging move with lots of unknowns and unique, special circumstances. Golden North Van Lines is a military moving company here to help answer questions about your temporary relocation or permanent change of station (PCS) to Anchorage. Our goal is to help make your transition to The Last Frontier smooth and simple.
There are several military bases and many sub-units in Alaska, Air Station Sitka, Kodiak Base and USCG Juneau, which are all located in the cities that bear their names. Near the city of Fairbanks, you’ll find Eielson AFB, Fort Greely and Fort Wainwright, while Elmendorf AFB and Fort Richardson are closer to Anchorage.
Even though the military considers a move to Alaska as OCONUS (outside of the contiguous United States), a permanent change of station move can still be easy with the help of our experienced Alaska moving company. Be sure to look into all the moving and reimbursement options available to you, as well as the requirements for each (including weight limits) before you choose which type of move you will make. Remember to ask your transportation counselors within your military relocation services to select the most respected Alaska movers.

With a move to Alaska, traveling and moving your household goods requires a bit more planning.
It’s a good idea to book any temporary lodging before your arrival, since there can be a heavy concentration of tourists in the areas surrounding military installations during certain times of the year, and you don’t want to be left without accommodations. A few of the other special circumstances you’ll encounter with a move to Alaska include:
- Shipping a personal vehicle
- Using a combination of over the road and sea transport
